I THINK I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED
[ad_1]
I came around an investment website and i foolishly believed in their promises, i invested 500$ at the start and they gave a 20% returns after the cycle which i withdrew successfully, then i invested another 2,000 and i was advised that there was a pump so i increased my principal to 18K thereabout. When the cycle was complete, my team lead advised i held on a bit more with an increased capital but i refused and asked for a withdrawal on the site, they say i pay a clearance levy of 1,700 which i did and then i was informed of a tax evasion policy and that i needed 3,000 to make that clear out. after paying this i still couldnt get my assets out of the website.

It sounds like you got involved with an investment website that promised some great returns on your investment. You invested $500 at first and got a 20% return, which is pretty good. But then you invested more money, around $18k, and when you tried to withdraw it, the website told you that you needed to pay a “clearance levy” of $1,700 and then some kind of tax evasion fee of $3,000. Even after you paid those fees, they still wouldn’t let you withdraw your money. That’s a pretty terrible situation to be in, and it’s possible that you fell victim to a scam.
My advice would be to stop investing any more money with this website and try to get your remaining funds out as soon as possible. If you can’t, you might want to consider reporting the website to the authorities or to a financial regulator in your area. It’s always important to be careful with investments and to do your own research before putting any money in. And be especially cautious of any investment opportunities that require additional fees or taxes to be paid before you can get your money out.
What a bummer. Need to vet these options before investing
Sorry to hear about your loss in the scam. Next time, check yourself (your greed) before you wreck yourself as the saying goes.
I’m sorry you went through this. Please do research before investing again.
I seen this scam first hand then i did some research before i fell victim.
